This is an amazing video, Simon. It is so important for fathers and sons to spend time together like this. And Tom seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself rather than just going through the motions the way some teens do. A very well mannered young man too. Good job, Dad. Tom, hope to see you again in future videos. Cheers, mates! 🇬🇧 🇺🇲
This video was so heartwarming to watch. The bond between Simon and Tom is priceless. And to see Maggie getting her special treats is precious. I actually was moved to tears, which is quite rare for me. Thank you for allowing us all to share in this experience of a father and son bonding. Much appreciate your hard work Simon. Thank you and much love and respect from Minnesota, USA.❤
Always fun to see Tom again enjoying time with his Dad and of course to see Maggie getting special treats at the camp kitchen! Cheers to you Simon and to Tom!
This has to be the most heart warming, touching and feel good video I have ever seen on your channel Simon. The connection you and Tom have when you're camping out together is absolutely precious. He's an absolute credit to you and you are a wonderful dad. I can't stop smiling after watching that!! :)
It's so nice to see a dad that cares enough to take his son camping and also to see a son that is willing to spend time with his dad...creating memories that will never be forgotten and growing in experience because of this time together. My brother and I grew up without a dad and wish that we could have known him and shared those same experiences. Enjoy your time together and I look forward to seeing more adventures with Simon, Tom and Maggie. What a great team!
I get this is an old video… but you no what I really love the father son aspect of simply camping but then playing cards by camp light few cheeky ciders good grub what more could you possibly want.. what a nice bit of father an son time ❤
Hey, being outdoors is where our ancestry, our genetic code pours down from. It's as natural as being born and dying in my opinion. As a former Royal Marine Commando who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can safely say that being outdoors in the middle of nowhere, in all that wild natural landscape, that vastness makes me think "what am I to all of this? I'm insignificant...so my problems are insignificant, too"
@@robertcole9391 ahh good man, always a pleasure to meet acquaintance with a fellow vet - 22 years myself. In that case, you're not just my mate, but a brother in arms. Stay safe mate
I always really enjoy these videos. It makes me smile not only that Maggie still gets around well enough to go on camps with you but that Tom still wants to as well. Cheers! - Shane from Texas
Nice camp Simon, I thought Felix's knife was rather good especially for one so young, he definitely has a good eye. I'll have to take my boy out with me camping now and give him a cider, he is old enough (34) infact he's probably had more ciders than me already! Yum kebabs looked great:)
@@felixpelletier4296 you sir make beautiful knives. Just looked at some of the knives on your Instagram. That competition chopper of yours which has a look of a Japanese Nata I'm sure is a absolute beast in the field. Looking forward to seeing more of your knives make it into the wild.
I can’t believe I’ve just spent 35 minutes of my life watching a bloke and his son play cards in a tent on a frosty evening. And cooking up sumptuous kebabs and good breakfast the following morning! Hahaha. Great memories made. I must prise my grandsons from the parental grip and do likewise. Thanks.
This reminds me of me and my dad sadly we dont camp he's a taxi driver so always working but before him snd my mum split me and him would sit in the dining room have a good few beers and I'd aldo be having a joint as he doesnt smoke qeed anymore and we'd be playing cribbage. Dads still alive which im obviously grafetul for. This just reminds me of me and my good ol' scotsman father💯🤝♥️
Hello Simon, Tom and precious Maggie. Good to see her enjoying the trip. Have a great end of the week and upcoming weekend. Sorry to hear that you have a cold. Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for going out there and hope it helps you feel better. Stay safe and warm til the next one.
Hi simon, great video. Do want to metion taht CO (carbon monoxide) is actualy heavier then oxigen and most other gasses in the air. General advice is to have it bellow your head level while sleeping (atleast as far as gass stoves and similar are concerned). The confusion comes from smoke detectors as smoke does rise.
Thank you Joeri! That is a common misconception - CO is actually slightly lighter than air - the advised height for a CO detector is around 5’ off the ground 👍
Good ol' Maggie guarding the tent doorway! Tom is such an awesome young man. A beautiful winter's camp. Seasons Greetings to you and yours. 👍🇨🇦🌲🐾🎁🎅⭐🔥🌏🧦⛺
Now that’s what it’s all about Family. I’m recently divorced and i try and spend as much time with my son as i can teaching him all i know about life without Technology. You can’t beat it. Great video thank you. 🍺🍺👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Time spent with parents, wifey, sons, daughters, friends and/or treasured pets are very precious indeed, whatever activity you choose but camping is definitely near the top of the list. ENJOY!!!!
Maggie, the BEST camping critter there is. Love the family time and the holiday lights. Ah yes, and the cocoa makes it official. My pomoly stove was a holiday gift that just arrived.
Saya selalu senang...menonton kegiatan alam bebas...camping dan kegiatan petualangan alam bebas lainnya... Saya merasakan sedang berada di sana juga...
Remember Christmas Vacation from third grade! My little sister and I spent the ten days off with Chickenpox we caught from my older sister! Ten days as a child Cooped up Inside! Wow the Memories! Looking Forward to another Father/Son video
One of my favourite videos Simon. Closeness of family, connection & reverence to nature, lovely feel good one to watch. And of course the legend that is ' Maggie'. Thank you for allowing us into your world at such close quarters.
Great video again Simon and Tom and Maggie ! Lovely camping with your own family is always great ! Thinking of that i was pleasantly surprises a couples of weeks ago when my son asked me of he could join me on an coming canoe trip a planner next year !! Great news for me and a great things to look forward to !! Keep them coming !!
Hi fellas and Maggie. Looks like you all had a great time. Tom I hope you took a few quid off your old dad playing cards. It’s what I think a lot of youngsters miss out on, bonding with their parents especially camping trips. Sorry to hear about you being a Norwich fan Tom, you can always join us Hammers! Thanks for another great video Simon really enjoyed seeing you all. Up the Canaries!
I am so glad you get to spend time with Tom . I will not get to see my boys this Christmas 17 and 13 . This will be the first time ever. All we can do is Love them and spend all the time we can with them. Merrychrisms to you and your family
Great video Simon and as a life long Manchester United fan, I have to appologise to Tom for us beating Norwich 1-0. Norwich put on a spirited display though. I have camping with my Son to look forward to soon. He's coming home from Sweden and I haven't seen him for three years because of covid. I spoke to him yesterday and he assured me that he's getting me out night fishing when he comes home. So finally some quality Father and Son time for us. Thanks for sharing and have a very Happy Christmas you and yours. Matt
Great camp out and special time to spend with your Son and good old Maggie. Enjoyed this adventure thanks for sharing. Sending wishes for a quick recovery of the cold.
With you and your youtube colleague, Andy, cooking while camping, I get to witness a culinary extravaganza. I love lamb, but unfortunately I married into a non-lamb eating family. It is also great watching Maggie get her fair share of the feasting with you and your son. Finishing your overnight camping with a full English breakfast was just wonderful. Great video. I wish you and yours an early Merry Christmas . . . or is it Happy Christmas on your side of the "big pond?" **LOL**
I love the fact you let him sleep and started up the wood stove in the morning. Great dad and precious times together. Just lovely :)

also A 17 YEAR OLD MADE THAT KNIFE?!?! The mosaic pins ALONE are stunning!!! Well done!!
There's something strangely comforting listening to a dog eat.

Beautiful and memorable times together . Always remembered as good times. Something to pass along through the next generations. Invaluable ❤️
This is something parents have gotten away from.. Taking the family out and camping... Great to see you and you son bonding.

This is the BEST video so far. I just discovered your channel recently so I'm streaming a bit. I love your channel, Simon!
Tom is a good sport. I wish I had a good husband and son (and dog) like that....
When it's cold and damp, nothing warms the bones like a wood stove. Looked like a great time. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Time spent with parents, wifey, sons, daughters, friends and/or treasured pets are very precious indeed, whatever activity you choose but camping is definitely near the top of the list. ENJOY!!!!
Thanks Simon, you are wonderful and such a kind soul.
God bless you All
I love it when you camp with Tom and Maggie. Tom has an amazing smile and his eyes sparkle.
Disappearing shelter was great effect there at the end!👍👍
Your son is so nice and polite and a nice bond there x😊
Such a great dad
Superb. Your son will never forget this night.
My wofe is happy. She saw meggy. Nice camp overthere.
Nice to see Tom and Maggie joined you in the woods Simon 👍👍👍🇵🇭
Great time for you, your son and Maggie.
Hi Simon always good to see you and Tom out in the woods. Good food and good company makes for a great camp. I loved the disappearing tent effect.
Thank you please
Great video. You’ve got a good lad there. He’s got a kind soul. You should be very proud.
nice father and son time.
Another great video ☺️👍
Good to see Tom and Maggie back out...just have a big shot of whiskey Simon.. it will clear that cold right up... cheers mate 🍺
It must have been freezing the dog was shivering....
She wasn’t shivering, it’s a nerve thing in her legs, they’ve quivered for her whole life 👍
Maggie, the BEST camping critter there is. Love the family time and the holiday lights. Ah yes, and the cocoa makes it official.
My pomoly stove was a holiday gift that just arrived.

Quality camp for sure enjoyed the outdoors along with the lamb kababs
Love my backpacking trips with my sons. We play poker with different size sticks and small stones for poker chips
Tom will cherish memories like this for the rest of his life, and so will Maggie! Beautiful stuff!
From Newfoundland and Labrador Canada. Awesomeness right there
I am so glad you get to spend time with Tom . I will not get to see my boys this Christmas 17 and 13 . This will be the first time ever. All we can do is Love them and spend all the time we can with them. Merrychrisms to you and your family
